I went to the kids Easter Egg Hunt at the Methodist Church yesterday morning. It was great fun to see all the children with their colorful baskets, dressed up and ready for the hunt. The area around the church had been divided into several sections, so the kids could search for eggs with others in the same general age range, increasing the odds of success. The eggs were also significantly easier to find in the spot for toddlers (ages 1 - 3). Claire Senseney explained to the kids where there areas were, and, after her final "go!", they scattered quickly. Eggs were scooped up very quickly, and the whole thing was over in just a few minutes! The kids got a lesson in recycling and good earth stewardship, as well, as they were asked to empty the candy into their baskets and return the eggs to a large plastic bin, so they can be reused next year. Here are a few of the cutest pictures I took of the event:
Are there any eggs in here?

On another note: for those of you who are either a) wondering what the "big news" is or b) counting and think I finally missed a day of blogging this year, the rest of this blog is for you. I
did blog yesterday...on my other blog. It's called ABC - All 'Bout Connor, and its topic is my nephew, who will be born on or about April 25th. But the news is even bigger ~ John and I will be caring for Connor for the first three or so years of his life, so his mommy (my wonderful sister Jocelyn) can complete her education at the US Air Force Academy. You can check out Connor's blog
